Forty-seven expected to dock this year
Forty seven cruise ships will be sailing to the Isle of Man from now until September bringing in a collective 16,000 tourists.
That's according to the head of Visit Isle of Man.
The first cruise ship, MS Maud, is expected to dock in Douglas this morning as part of its tour of the British Isles - it will be the first in two years.
Another is expected to dock in Peel tomorrow.
